That doesn't cover things that don't directly touch the RDMA code or
infiniband infrastructure.

There should have been RDMA people on netdev who saw this thing and
cried wolf, and they would have had about an entire year, and about
8 instances of this series being posted in which to do so.

It's not like this got posted once or twice and went in with zero
review.
